The Central Vigilance Commission has asked public sector banks, undertakings and central government departments to regularly identify sensitive posts and ensure the rotation of officers manning them within the prescribed time limit.

L-G seeks detail on delay in action over CVC report on govt schools: Report

Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena has sought a report from the chief secretary over a delay of more than 2.5 years in acting on a CVC report on an inquiry into construction of additional classrooms in government schools, sources said. The report, which found gross irregularities and procedural lapses in execution of the projects, was sent by the CVC to the vigilance secretary in February 2020, seeking comments for further investigation and action. No immediate reaction was available from the Delhi government on the issue. "The L-G has taken a serious view of this inordinate delay that appears to be an obvious attempt at covering up gross malpractice pointing towards corruption, apart from violating relevant clauses of the CVC manual. The LG Secretariat had received a complaint enclosing a copy of the CVC communication to the Directorate of Vigilance," sources at the L-G office said. The CVC had received a complaint in 2019 regarding irregularities and cost overrun in construction
